1962-63 Black Supro Valco National Airline resonator guitar

This beautiful black Supro is believed to be a very early version 1962-63, of the the Folk Star, Folkstar, or Vagabond. It is in excellent condition and ready to play. It is a very loud, single biscuit, resophonic guitar ready to play. Do not hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks!

"The idea of making guitars out of fiberglass was Valco’s own, and the notion yielded some of the most colorful and interesting American guitars of the ’60s. Because of the way it is fabricated, fiberglass resin can be colored before being applied for setting, eliminating the need for painting after the guitar is molded. Valco called its fiberglass (or “fiberglas”) Res-O-Glas, described as being “Space Age Polyester Glass.” This new material was used initially on Valco’s Supro line.While these guitars appeared to be solid-bodies, they were, of necessity, made of two pieces. Many featured fancy Kluson Butterfly tuners with large plastic buttons."
